Supporting 3" vent stack

It's 3" ABS so it does not weigh that much. However, does no one make a
support system that installs within the wall (as opposed to supporting it
from below)?
I know that I can wrap it with 'plumbers tape' and nail the tape ends to
my studs. Easy to do where you can get a bite because of a fitting. How
about mid-length? It would be easy if they made a 'glue-on' (ABS) quarter
circle with floppy straps that could be nailed to the studs.
Checked with both box stores and ACE. Nobody knows of a better way to
support stack than to simply wrap it tightly with the metal plumbers tape.
Any other ideas? Thanks god it isn't cast iron.
Thanks,

Go to a plumbing supply. I have seen plumbers use a bracket that clamps
around the pipe and rests on the bottom wall plate inside the wall.
